Open the Nvidia program and - Choose Control Panel > Display > Color settings, then setting it back to default settings.

Customer:

unable to set default setting almost impossible to read

Customer:

still trying

Computer Extraordinaire :

Ok

Computer Extraordinaire :

Here is another option:- Turn the computer off- Turn the computer on- Start pressing the F8 key on the top of the keyboard- At the Boot menu, choose ENABLE VGA MODE- Hit the Enter key three times

When it reboots it will be brighter, but in VGA mode. This will allow you to make the changes that I specified, then you can reboot into normal moade.

Computer Extraordinaire :

*mode

Computer Extraordinaire :

Please, perform those steps

Computer Extraordinaire :

I will be standing by.

Customer:

ok will do, standby

Computer Extraordinaire :

Thank you

Customer:

my monitor doesn.t even come on now. no signal input.

Computer Extraordinaire :

Were you able to turn it off, on, then boot into vga mode?

Computer Extraordinaire :

It appears that your video card is going bad or it was knocked loose in the system.

Computer Extraordinaire :

When you first turn the computer on, before windows even loads, is it also very dark?

Customer:

no, not getting any signal at all to monitor, computer isnt booting up now as well

Computer Extraordinaire :

- Unplug the power to the desktop- Unplug ALL cables - Open the desktop- Remove the video card- Put the video card back- Plug only the video, keyboard, mouse, and power cables in.- Plug in the power and turn it on- If that does not solve your problem, then you will need to replace the video card.

Customer:

ok this may take a while

Computer Extraordinaire :

Ok, I will stand by.

PLEASE, udpate me once you have finished this.

I will wait here for you.

Customer:

thank you

Customer:

no joy, I hope my mother board isn't gone as well, it doesnt seem like the hard drive is spinning up as well now.

Computer Extraordinaire :

hello

Computer Extraordinaire :

It appears that you may have a problem with the power supply as well.

Customer:

what do you think would be the fixes before i bring it in

Computer Extraordinaire :

It is hard to say.

Computer Extraordinaire :

I am leaning towards a problem with the video card or the power supply.

Computer Extraordinaire :

Those would be the first two things I check.

Computer Extraordinaire :

Is there anything else I can be of assistance with?

Hi John, Thank you for your expertise and, more important, for your kindness because they make me, almost, look forward to my next computer problem. After the next problem comes, I'll be delighted to correspond again with you. I'm told that I excel at programing. But system administration has never been one of my talents. So it's great to have an expert to rely on when the computer decides to stump me. God bless, BillBill M.Schenectady, New York
